Influenster #JollyVoxBox Review

I was so excited when I received the email that I was going to be getting the #JollyVoxBox from Influenster! I love this program and I look forward to reviewing more products. If you haven't heard about Influenster before it is a company/website that sends out themed boxes full of products for people to review. When you sign up there are so many things for you to do, surveys, reviews, ask.answer questions. All of those things can up your score. This score and your profile help them determine what boxes would suit you. Like they arent going to send a college themed box to someone who isnt in college, or a dog themed box to someone who doesn't have dogs. Get my drift? Once you do qualify for a box, they will send you an email for you yo verify that you want the box then they will send you a tracking number once the box ships. When you get your box (this is the fun part) you unbox it (it is a great idea to just go ahead and film it right away, youll see why in a second) Then you go back to the Influenster site and check in that you received it and see all the tasks you need to complete, for instance share on instagram, unbox video on youtube, review a product on a certain website. You do not HAVE to do them but it helps your score. Here is the website if you want to check it out. Be sure to read the About section so you can get a real idea of what all you have to do. Influenster


So here we go. Here is what I received in my #JollyVoxBox


How awesome is all that??? I will break down each item and talk about it a little bit. I will say the vox boxes differ in size. My very first one was a very large box. My second one was a small box, it fit in my mailbox, and this one was small too. It all depends on what is in it. I definitely recommend trying out the website. It is really fun. 

First up is this package of  Puffs Plus lotion tissues. I am always in need of tissues it seems this time of the year I always have a cold. This little package fit perfect in my purse and my pocket. There are 10 tissues in each pack and normally you can buy a 4 pack of these at one time. They are soft and was very gentle on my nose. Visit the Puffs Website for more information on what is in the tissues and more products they offer. Also look for Puffs on your favorite social media outlet! 



 Ok so....I messed up. I do not have a pic of this product alone by itself in the original packaging. But I do have this pic. It is of a Ducklings tape roll from Duck Brand. Its a mini roll of the Blue Leopard Duct tape. The size is .75 x 180 inches. It works the same as the normal size tape rolls. It's perfect for small craft projects like the one below, My daughter, who is 4, used it to cover the back of her cell phone...(before I get hate for that, it only works with wifi she only uses it to watch crafting videos on youtube) Check out the Duck Brand Website for more products and project ideas. Also check out The Duck Brand on all your favorite social media outlets.


The next item was a eyeshadow trip palette from NYC. NYC stands for New York Color. I LOVE this brand. I own several pieces. This color is Long Beach Sands there are three different shades for three different parts of your eyes. BUT you can use them anyway you want to create different looks.
The top color is a white. It is written to be a highlighter for under your brow or in the inner corner of your eyes. The middle color is a darker brown shade. It is written to be an all over lid color. The bottom is a tan shade. It is written to be the crease color, meaning the crease on your eyelid. Any of these colors can be used any way you want to. I will say they are not very pigmented. Atleast on my skin I had to really dig into the package to get the dark coloring shown in the swatch below. Then tan barely shows at all. This is on their own, out of packaging put on a bare eyelid. I then put an eyelid primer on my lids to see if that would help. It did a little. It was still too light for my tastes. Ya'll I have light skin. Anything should be dark on me. So for one final try I used cream eyeshadows in the same shade as the shades below. It worked but I feel like its mostly the color of the cream shadow and not the NYC colors. Sooo I am not knocking the NYC brand, just this palette did not work for me. It will find a new home so it can be used. Check out the NYC Website for my products! Also Find NYC on all your favorite Social media outlets.


The next product is from Rimmel. It is their Show Off Lip Lacquer in Celestial. Ya'll I'm serious when I say this product is amazing and they sent me the perfect shade! This product is not a lipstick and it is not a gloss. It goes on so creamy and stays on all day. It has the basic lip gloss applicator to apply the product. Like I said I have light skin, I normally do not go for bright lip colors to wear out in public but this color is the perfect color to break me into wearing a nice pinky mauve color. Check out the Rimmel Website for more products and more colors. I would definitely recommend this product.


The last think I list hear was actually the first thing I took out of the box. It is the Skinny Cow brand of peanut butter filled chocolate candies. Now ya'll I love my chocolate but these things are very very sweet. The peanut butter is very creamy and rich. So you definitely would not be missing the sweet factor if you ate these. This box came with 6 pouches, each pouch has 3 pieces in it. Way too much for me in one sitting. I do recommend this to others. I recommend the brand totally. I love their products. Here is a link to the Skinny Cow Website check them out. Also check Skinny cow out on your favorite social media outlets. :)


Thanks yall for reading my blog!!! Please subscribe! It will greatly be appreciated. Leave me messages ask me questions. I love doing that kind of stuffs.

Disclaimer: I was sent all these products in a box from Influenster to test out and give my opinion. I am not being paid in any way for my opinion.

*Update* I know I know...

I know I've been saying I would catch up on blog posts...Well that is one of my resolutions is to get more organized in life and that includes my blog. To those who might be coming back to read this, I will be posting more. I am, at this moment, editing the current pictures I have and separating them into folders for easy blogging. So I do realize this is a very short post BUT I need to get back to what I was doing.
